Your preferences match my own. I use a Palm m500, which meets your specs, has 8mb RAM, more than enuf unless you put books or pictures into it, and does not have color, MP3, camera or fone. Expect to spend $55+/- including postage. I have an extra cradle, if you find one cheap without a cradle.
Also, you can, but need not, put a SD ram card in a slot, adding up to at least 64mb, likely more. It has a built-in rechargeable battery, which will not last forever and may be dying in the used PDA you buy. You can buy a replacement battery for under $15, but it's hard to find the #6 torx screwdriver you need to open the case. >Hey folks, > >My wife is interested in getting a PDA, so I need some advice.
